Why I Failed: Lessons from Leaders Paperback – 17 July 2013

This small book has some short stories to get an inspiration from. Unlike the first generation entrepreneurs whom i know undergoes a tremendous pressure and stiff market conditions, which gets them years, even decades to get themselves settled. I was unaware that even the ones from an established business family, has a lot to take at stake. Esp the story of Ms. Sminu Jindal has been immensely touching, as well as that of Captain G. Less unforgettable are the other pathbreaking life stories of other immensely hardworking personalities as well. This is an immensely good read and i highly prefer it to someone who is in of moral support and motivation to carry on. Happy reading.

quiescent chapter of life Some real stories of pass and fail, how to react in life and tell us about many a things to learn and act on…..

Good book

Very informative book with stories of successful people failing in their efforts. The author has a given a summarized lesson at each chatter end, as to what we can learn from failure.There are 16 stories which are very short, only 10-15 pages with less content. It's a quick read and gives a glimpse of successful people... The book assumes a direct relation between failure, hard work, persistence and success.

Failure can indeed be our best teacher. It doesn't matter if it is personal or professional!Shweta Punj is a terrific writer when it comes to explaining the subject matter, though abridged, in a complete manner.All the people written about in the book can be related to due to the manner in which Shweta describes their journey.I would recommend this book to every individual who believes that he/she can make or would want to make a difference to society either through personal gains or through social work.

A good book to get inspired from the failures of Abhinav Bindra, Madhur Bhandarkar, Narayana Murthy, Subhash Ghai and the likes, to turn their failures into stepping stones towards their successes and not as stumbling blocks! These lessons from these leaders help us understand the intricacies of real life and prepare us more to face the naked truth / reality of life, from their rich experiences of their personal FAILURES! Who else, but the author, Shweta Punj, could have imagined that "Even Failures (of these celebrity-people) could INSPIRE"!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo, Shweta!!!!!!!!!

I was Happy with the book and on time delivery. However, it really irritated me that the delivery guy didn't carry any change. A minimun amount of change should be present with them so as to make the entire eperience more worth while ratherme running at the last minute to get change,

Truly inspired me. It's about failure and you will get an idea of your mistakes.We all are success conscious, but we never think that without falling we can't get real success.This book will teach you how to find out own mistakes, ami make you inspired through your mistakes.
